Once under a scarlet sky I told you never ending lies   But they were the words of a drunken vagabond   Who knew very well he would break your heart before long   Oh forgive me, Genevieve      Now I've come back to see Sweet Lady Genevieve   This time I'll give you some security   And I will make promises I can keep   So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve?      Let me rock you, hold you   Take you in my arms   Oh forgive me, please   Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me      Oh if you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve   I'm not the impetuous fool that you used to know   I know that I used you and I hurt you so   But that was so long ago Sweet Lady Genevieve      Oh, love me   Take me in your arms   Let me rock you, hold you   Smile away all your sadness, put your trust in me      Once under a starry sky I led you on and told you lies   Drank too much whiskey on that hot summer night   I acted so slyly because you were acting so shy   Oh forgive me Genevieve      If you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve   You're not the child who smiled so innocently   And I'm not the rogue that I used to be   So will you come back to me Sweet Lady Genevieve?      Oh Genevieve, oh Genevieve
